Where Is Your Anger Now Censored
We sold our freedoms for Big Macs, big stacks of crack, and bottles of Jack
This mess is wack and in fact I'm totally done
Havin' fun with the lines I've spun
We want to sit here and whine and moan
And groan while we play with our phones
We're nothing but drones and clones
Bleeding out over the bones of our ancestors
We don't like the shape the world is in
But are the masses getting off their booties
Nah but as soon as as a new iPhone comes out
We get out the fastest
While fascist dictators blast us
And I'm the Christoph
But I'm so pissed off
That I could list off
All the things wrong with this world
When lies and retorts are hurled
This isn't the way things are supposed to be
And I'm led to believe I'm free
****, NSA already knows the lines I'm writin'
And we're out here fightin'
Over the latest celebrity newspapers
When the government makes off like capers
We can't see above the skyscrapers
Everything tapers
We're too busy feedin' kids this rubbish
Because it's important to fit in
And sit in with all the cool kids
But these are fool bids
Makin' new generations
The foolish leaders of nations
Let's just cut the funds off from the schools
And prioritize learning multiple choice answers
This is a gosh darn cancer
Because these kids grow up without actual knowledge
And I'm just another dancer
Looking for what is right
We're supposed to epitomize
And legitimize the spies and lies
Like flies droppin' from the skies
While the land denies
That there is a fundamental problem
But we're too busy sittin' on the couch to care
Becomin' freedom fighters on the weekend
Only to go back to our daily hum drum lives
And forget the strife that we strive to stifle
While armies march with rifles
We're too busy tappin' away on Facebook
And they took us for fools
Because the schools damn sure don't care
Where are all the minute men
To take out the the senate when
It's nothing but a hall of corruption
Where is the eruption
Just tell me
Where is your anger now?
